When the murders are shown directly, it is a fairly gory scene. It is brief, but it is not really hidden at all.

One of the brothers sexually abused the other when they were both children. The abused brother forgives him because they were both abused by their father, and he was reenacting what had happened to him.

As a child, the older brother was abused by their father and then reenacts the abuse he experienced on his little brother. Discussed, not shown. Also it’s implied that the abusive father was himself abused as a child. So, big yes.

Child abuse is a major part of the story/case so it is discussed frequently and is pretty much unavoidable if you’re watching the series. You will see teenage boys being verbally and physically abused by their parents. You will hear graphic accounts of them being abused as children.

Cocaine is used in an early episode. In later episodes with flashbacks/backstory (Particularly episode 6), a woman is shown struggling with addiction to pills and has an episode where she collapses (apparently from an overdose). She also describes a past overdose in this episode.

We briefly see the WTC: twin towers in a short scene, like 3 seconds. The story is set in the 70-80s long before they fell. no terror is mentioned.

There’s some conflating pedophilia with homosexuality, which was unfortunately pretty common at the time.

F word used several times. The timeframe for a lot of the events is also at the peak of late 80s and early 90s homophobia following the AIDS epidemic, so there’s a lot of casually homophobia rhetoric throughout.
